evidence-based active learning strategies. The following includes a detailed
explanation of the purpose of curriculum development.
Aspects of the Course
Students will benefit from enrollment and completion of the course as it
will enrich their understanding of the needs of the communities in which they
represent. While the focus on a number of nursing courses focus on patients in
an acute setting, there are a majority of patients that are living in the
community with chronic conditions and specialized needs. These individuals still
may require nursing care on an outpatient basis. There is a growing need for
community health nurses, and this course aims to provide a comprehensive
introduction.
The course begins with setting expectations of the students in the course as
well as the students' expectations of the instructor. There is a review of the

syllabus and an introduction to community health nursing, including the many
roles of the nurse as well as the social determinants of health. Other topics
covered in the course are community assessment, family assessment and cultural
disparities, vulnerable populations and rural communities, Alzheimer's disease,
chronic disease, mental health and substance abuse, communicable disease and
infection prevention, and emergency preparedness. These topics cover key
concepts such as identification of a community's patient demographics,
differences in family dynamics, cultural views of

healthcare, specific disadvantages of underprivileged populations, warning
signs of abuse, importance of infection control, and emergency disaster
plans.
Throughout the course, best nursing practice strategies will be employed,
particularly when discussing ways the undergraduate can learn to educate their
future patients. Evidence- based practice is forever evolving, and it is important
to stay current with research so that patients are receiving the best possible
care. As described in the course overview, emphasis is placed on the nursing
process to enable students to build upon their foundational nursing knowledge
and supplement critical thinking skills while promoting the best nursing practice.
Cultivation of Course
The eight weekly module topics cultivate the development in the course in
the sense that each topic begins to go in-depth for many aspects of community
health. The first week begins with a review of the syllabus and the expectations
that the teacher has of the students, as well as discussing what expectations the
students have of the teacher. This promotion of a positive learning environment
allows for student development that results in positive outcomes. The first class
also includes an introduction to community health so that the students have a
foundational understanding of what community health is comprised of.
